The Allen Parish Tourist Commission welcomes you to Allen Parish, the "Gateway" to Cajun Country. This is your personal invitation to enjoy the sites, sounds, and the multi-cultured atmosphere we have in our community. We are located in southwest Louisiana and we are the home of the Coushatta Indian Tribe known as the "Red Shoes People". If you love the outdoor life, we have hunting at West Bay Game Reserve and also at Dry Creek Ranch, fishing on the Calcasieu River, Ouiska Chitto and other creeks and rivers, Trotting-bred racing, canoeing on the most peaceful rivers with beautiful white sandy beaches you will ever see anywhere, and great sporting events. We have the largest land-based casino resort in Louisiana.
